Where have all the ‘80s stars gone? You must often think of your favorite TV and Hollywood celebs from back in the day or just catch yourself remembering well-known TV characters and asking “Have they gone missing?” Well, wonder no more as we now list 45 of our favorite ‘80s stars and show you what they’ve been up to these days. While some of them have been facing financial issues, experienced slip and fall, or had to visit drug and alcohol rehab centers, others continued shining as bright (and rich) as ever. So sit back, read on, and see what we've got in store.
Sam J. Jones - Works in a Security Business
Before making a cameo in the film, Ted, Sam J. Jones already has 15 films under his portfolio. He is an actor best known for his appearance in Flash Gordon and Highway Man. Now, Jones has turned his attention away from acting for a while as he now works as a personal security for VIPs and execs while they travel. We could say that he is retired from acting as he absolutely loves his new job despite his weird career transformation. We are not sure we can think of any other celebrity who has ever done such a transition!
Lindsay Wagner - Still Acting
Lindsay Wagner rose to fame in the '70s through her iconic role of Jaime Sommers in The Bionic Woman. This character was what really earned her a fortune in her savings account because there were a lot of sequels where she reprised her role. She has had four marriages already but sadly, all of them ended in a divorce. It seems that, unfortunately, Wagner did not have the same luck in her personal life as she did in her career. These days, she is still acting, and you can catch her in the 2018 movie, Samson.
Lee Majors - Divorced Three Times
Lee Majors was already earning a lot of money through acting in the '60s, but his biggest break was in the '70s when he was given the role of Steve Austin in the series The Six Million Dollar Man. He managed to stay successful until the '80s through the lead part he had in The Fall Guy. After going through a divorce thrice (and perhaps giving his wealth management adviser a nightmare with all these court expenses), Majors is already on his fourth wife, but let's hope he will make it last this time.
Catherine Bach - Still Acting
Catherine Bach is most popularly known for her role as Daisy Duke in the series The Dukes of Hazzard. She caught people's attention in the '80s with her quite liberated fashion sense and she takes credit for making the "daisy duke look" popular. She has never left our TV screens (to embrace retirement), so you can still catch her these days on the show The Young and the Restless. She might not be that young but she is definitely restless and we actually love her being in the limelight still.
Nancy McKeon - Focused On Her Family Life After Retiring
Nancy McKeon proved that even tomboys can be charming when she played Joanna Marie "Jo" Polniaczek in the TV show The Facts of Life. She then went on to appear in more than 20 TV shows and films, thereby building her reputation and savings account. McKeon later decided to lay low a bit, especially after 2011. She did appear in the The Facts of Life reunion show in 2016 though, probably to boost her already modest earnings. No matter what, we miss her a lot and we would love to see her making a strong comeback!
Dolph Lundgren - Still Acting
Actor Dolph Lundgren may be in his sixties, but he can still prove he's got the moves in the industry. His breakthrough started in 1985 when he was cast as Ivan Drago, the Soviet boxer, in the film Rocky IV. After his performance, he began to appear in more films including Masters of the Universe, Red Scorpion, and The Punisher. Thanks to Sylvester Stallone's influence on his fitness and diet, even at his age, he can still do action films. In fact, he will reprise the role of Ivan Drago in the upcoming sequel of Creed.
Lauren Tewes - Voice Acting & Theatre
Lauren Tewes had stable earnings throughout the 9-year run she had with the show The Love Boat. She was removed from the program when she had to undergo rehab treatment for her cocaine addiction. But even though she moved past her addiction, she never got to achieve the same success that she had. She is known to be doing more low-key work through voice-acting and appearing in regional theater - and that pretty much sums up her acting portfolio today. We hope that she is back on her feet and away from her past bad habits.
Linda Gray – Set To Appear In 2019's Prescience
Every huge fan of the TV series Dallas sure knows who Linda Gray is. The actress played the role of Sue Ellen Ewing from 1978 until 1989 and thanks to her astonishing looks and gorgeous smile, she became one of the most beautiful women in the film industry- with quite a loaded bank account, too. Gray also appeared as a recurring character in the TV series Hand of God for three episodes. These days, she is working on a new project and her movie Prescience, that is currently in post-production, has a release date in 2019.
Bernadette Peters – Returns to Broadway

Today, the actress is 70 years old and still very active in the film industry, not considering to make her retirement official just yet. Peters was married to Michael Wittenberg for nine years before divorcing him in 2005. She has also been portraying Lenore Rindell in The Good Fight for two seasons since 2017. So, what’s next for Bernadette?
Victoria Principal – Various Charity Donations
Victoria Principal is among those Hollywood celebrities who are very much devoted to helping other people through various charity organizations. The actress became a major celebrity as Pamela Barnes on the popular CBS soap opera Dallas, in which she appeared from 1978 to 1987. 10 years prior to that, she had suffered massive trauma in a car accident. Thanks to her personal injury lawyer, the driver who caused the accident was charged with DUI and sent to prison. The actress is mostly devoted to her career as a businesswoman these days, while being a full time charity activist.
Denise Austin - Keeping it real on Social Media
If you grew up in the '80s, then you are certainly familiar with Denise Austin’s VHFs on how to create the ultimate body. 'America's Fitness Sweetheart,' as she was widely known, is still active while being as gorgeous as ever! We are sure that our pictures speak for themselves. Knowing that the VHF and DVD era is done and dusted, Denise stepped up her game by promoting her fitness business on Social Media and she seems to have no interest yet in making any retirement plans! And why would she? She is still the fitness queen of our hearts!
Debbie Gibson - Battling Lyme Disease
Debbie Gibson was truly an iconic name during the '80s because she was then the youngest singer ever to have self-written and self-produced songs that topped the charts. But her music career has slowed down over the years though she later stayed in the limelight through joining shows like The Celebrity Apprentice and Dancing With The Stars. We hope that she has more than enough money in her accounts to help her lead a rather comfortable life.
Christian Slater – Starring in the TV series Mr. Robot
Christian Slater counts many great roles in his rich acting portfolio, including movies like Heathers, Broken Arrow, Interview with the Vampire - where he acted alongside Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, Alias, and Breaking In.

He joined the cast of the show in 2015 and we actually cannot wait to watch the upcoming season in 2019. After all Slater’s talent is a great reason to follow the series until the last episode!
Sean Penn – Starring In The Netflix Series The First
Having an Academy-awarded actor as one of the main the cast members raises the bar of filming but the crew of the new Netflix series The First is just glad that actor Sean Penn has agreed to star in the show. With a career spanning over forty years and numerous appearances in Hollywood’s blockbusters, Sean Penn earned himself a fortune of $150 million. At the age of 57, Penn hasn't started his retirement planning just yet, as he still has a lot to share with his fans. His talent is limitless, anyway!

The actress is in her late 70s and she has definitely managed to sustain a youthful glow with many rumors that she underwent plastic surgery to make corrections on her face. Olsson never addressed those stories and continues to look amazing. We don’t know if the rumors are true but we find her to be beautiful either way.
Susan Anton – Does Theatre Performances
Susan Anton was considered one of the most beautiful actresses at the time she began her career and today, in her late 60s, she still looks fabulous.

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen - Fashion Designers
They might be one of the most –if not the most - popular twins in the celebrity sphere and for a good reason too, as the two sisters are both gorgeous and talented! They both started out as child actresses and if you are of some age, maybe you remember them as the two little cuties on Full House! However, apart from acting, they both had a calling for fashion as well and they saw themselves financing a business since they already had a huge savings account! Their last film together as a duo was back in 2004, New York Minute, however, they are unstoppable when it comes to nominations and awards in the world of fashion. In 2018, they were the top in accessories and womenswear!
Nicole Eggert – Pursuing An Assault Charge
Nicole Eggert was only eight when she landed her first role in the film Rich and Famous, where she starred alongside Candice Bergen and Jacqueline Bisset. Once she grew up, Eggert continued with her acting career, starring in the TV series Baywatch and Charles in Charge. The actress was also a participant of Splash and Celebrity Fit Club.

After a long break, he returned in the '90s and boosted his earnings through his role in the popular series, Law & Order. Hill lived a very long and fruitful life but in 2016, he died at the age of 94 years old. The cause of death was not made public yet everyone was saddened by the news of his death. Showbiz definitely lost one of its most precious stars.
Rob Lowe - Still Creating
We all remember Rob Lowe as the ultimate heart-breaker during the ‘80s. The famous actor is best known for his roles in St. Elmo’s Fire and the series The Grinder. Lowe is still very popular in the acting world with a number of roles in TV shows and films. As his net worth and bank account are growing, Lowe probably solved all of his student loans from the early days and today, he doesn’t worry much about paying mortgage.

Danza continues to act, but these days, he only gets minor roles in series and movies.

While she may play different roles that we both love and hate, Fairchild proves worthy of the attention she gets by her involvement in charity work and raising awareness of AIDS-related issues and environmental protection. She is also not reluctant in using her earnings to pursue the greater good. We think anyone would agree that she has a heart of gold.

As her acting career was growing, so did her bank account, so she probably managed to get a new house without worrying about how high her mortgage or home loan would be.

The stunning 60-year-old actress has been married four times and she needed to hire a divorce attorney every time. Her latest marriage was to actor Antonio Banderas, but they legally separated in 2015.

She also starred in numerous other movies including Buffalo Girls and Shining Through.

The actress is still very much active in the industry, having experienced a resurgence of her popularity with the horror series American Horror Story.
Kim Basinger – Once One Of The Biggest Hollywood Names
Speaking of the biggest Hollywood stars who rose to prominence back in the '80s, we simply can't fail to mention the actress Kim Basinger.

The public was devastated when she hired a divorce attorney back in 2002 in order to legally separate from her then husband, actor Alec Baldwin.
Madonna - Pop Empress
Still one of the most popular and influential people of today is American singer Madonna who began her career during the ‘80s. With many hits songs, Madonna quickly earned the status of Pop Queen.

We're confident that she's gone into financing a business at least a couple of times because of her affluence.
Huey Lewis - Still Rocking

But of course, like all celebs, he knows how to enjoy the millions in his bank account.

The actress also starred in a number of TV shows such as Ally McBeal, Square Pegs, Still Standing, and The Neighbors.

The popular actor also starred in Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-terrestrial, Red Dawn, and Grandview U.S.A. before he decided to try his luck in directing films.

Jennifer Jason Leigh - Multi-Nominated
Jennifer Jason Leigh made her onscreen debut with the film Fast Times at Ridgemont High. As her career started growing, together with her bank account, the famous actress landed numerous roles in the years that followed, including films The Hitcher and Single White Female.

Ralph Macchio - Karate Kid
Ralph Macchio is an American actor best known for his role in the legendary movie series, The Karate Kid. Macchio used to act in many TV commercials before he landed his first role in the film.

Ralph Macchio is still active, and his most recent appearance was in the TV series The Deuce. Karate Kid's fans are in for a treat as he is set to appear on the 2018 series Cobra Kai. Perhaps this project will increase his $2-million net worth even more.
Anthony Michael Hall - Hot-Tempered
Anthony Michael Hall started his career with a role in The Gold Bug movie. However, he gained immense fame and became an established movie star with the part in National Lampoon’s Vacation. Most recently, Hall appeared in several low-budget films. But even though his career is not as it used to be, with a net worth estimated at $8 million, he probably doesn’t have any money disputes or financial worries like loans and mortgages.
Cassandra Peterson - Still Tinkering With The Elvira Character
Cassandra Peterson became famous back in the day as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, and people flocked to see her on a weekly basis on the show, Elvira's Movie Macabre. Her other famous appearances were in movies like Pee-wee's Big Adventure, All About Evil, and Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold. It seems like the Elvira character still makes her money to this day because, in 2018, she portrayed the character in Hollywood Weapons: Fact or Fiction? and Storage Wars. Also, a new Elvira: Mistress of the Dark comic book series was released in July 2018.
Tiffany - Men's Magazine Cover

Although his acting career has been amazing, Nelson decided to try his luck in producing and writing. The popular actor has published four of his books so far. Having a net worth of $8 million seems to be telling us that Nelson has been doing a great job on top of acting, and likely, his banking company is pleased about the still-growing income.
Mr. T - The Original Bodyguard
American actor and retired professional wrestler, Mr. T had a pretty rough childhood as he grew up in a dangerous and poor neighborhood. Luckily, Mr. T managed to move from there and become a successful actor. He is best known for his roles in the TV series The A-Team and in the movie Rocky III.

John Cusack - Transcendental Meditation

John Cusack is a practitioner of transcendental meditation.
Keanu Reeves - Fashion Model
In the early ‘90s, Keanu Reeves drew attention for his iconic roles in Speed and Matrix. While he now enjoys the dividends of his successful career, the actor has had his fair share of personal tragedy, and between losing a baby to still-birth and getting slammed with a paternity lawsuit settlement claim, Reeves is said to have developed a few anger issues. Surprisingly, the actor has slipped through the controversy safely, and even a 2008 car accident injury suit got thrown out. Lucky guy!
Veronica Hamel - Fashion Model
After Veronica Hamel delivered an astounding portrayal of a defense attorney in Hill Street Blues, she sealed her fate as America’s sweetheart, and indeed that of her bank account. Before breaking into the big screen, Hamel tried her hands at a few things to make a little money. From working as a secretary to walking the runway as a supermodel, her success story is a testament to her willpower and hard work.
Anjelica Huston - Winning Is A Family Affair
Anjelica Huston holds a record for being the third person in her family to be honored with an Academy Award, after her father and grandfather. She grew up in an artistic environment and it's no wonder she followed her relative's footsteps. After playing the lead role in emblematic movies like The Grifters and A Love Story, she decided to expand her business finance and career on direction. With a glorious career behind her, we hope she's working on a new project and not on her retirement planning.
Lea Thompson - All In One Woman
Although she is best known for her acting career, Lea Thompson is also a TV director and producer. After starring in the box office hit trilogy Back to the Future, Lea's career really took off. In 1995 she played Caroline in the NBC sitcom Caroline in the City, which was broadcasted for four seasons. She met her husband Howard Deutch on the film set of Some Kind of Wonderful in 1987 and since then they have been inseparable. Seems like Lea won't need a divorce lawyer to file for divorce anytime soon!
LISA BONET – RECOVERED ADDICT
Despite her rosy beginnings, Lisa Bonet was at one time a familiar face at inpatient drug rehab centers, alcohol rehab facilities, and luxury drug rehab. In fact, there seemed to be no end to the battle for her sanity. Somehow, the Different World and The Cosby Show star is worlds away from her days of drug and alcohol rehab visits. Today, she is remarried to a hunk and is the mother of a stunning potential A-lister. It doesn’t get better than a Hollywood happy ending.
Sean Young - Struggles With Addiction
The American actress became widely known for her leading role in the iconic movie Blade Runner in 1982. The film was applauded by critics and gave her acting career a blast. Her ascent to fame may be the cause of the addiction problems she faced and led her to check herself into alcohol rehab facilities in 2008 and in 2011. After hitting a security guard at the Academy Awards in 2012, Young found herself at odds with the law. We hope she didn't have to resort to online law classes to defend herself!
Cindy Morgan - College Degree Star
The famous actress started her career in Caddyshack where she portrayed Lacey Underall. Although she was born in Illinois, her family was from Poland and Germany. She didn't follow her parents' path and was the only one from her family to enter and graduate from college. With no student loans to pay back, Cindy found her first job on a television channel in Rockford as a meteorological reporter while working on radio stations at the same time. During the '80s, the soap opera Falcon Crest was her longest gig on TV.
Connie Sellecca - Nominated Star
The famous star may not have wealth management problems, as she is not considered one of the celebrities with the highest net worth, but her roles have been significant to television history. Her debut was on the TV series Flying High in 1978 and she later starred and produced the iconic The Greatest American Hero in 1981. The actress was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for her role in the drama series Hotel in 1987.
Mickey Rourke - Inspiring Activist
We all remember the first acting steps of Mickey Rourke since his charming appearance tickled women's' fantasies all around the globe. Although he was a newcomer, he managed to take leading roles in iconic movies during the '80s like Diner, The Pope of Greenwich Village and Barfly. Rourke is also famous for his activist actions for PETA, as he shares a passion for dogs. Perhaps he could start financing a new business to help promote the goals of PETA worldwide...
Jon Bon Jovi - Politically Correct
Let's face it: rock history wouldn't be the same if Bon Jovi and his band weren't shaking things up back in the '80s! His singing career is glorious, with two solo albums and twelve band albums, accompanied by numerous massive billboard hits and guest appearances in movies and TV shows like Ally McBeal. The singer has been involved in the political scene as well, by financing John Kerry's campaign in 2004. So if you are a young politician in need of a loan, don't hesitate to contact him!
Phil Collins - Million Dollar Singer
Phill Collins is one of the most influential musicians of our time. His sensual voice and musical genius have made him the UK's favorite artist for decades. So far he has released numerous albums and cooperated with some of the greatest artists ever known and his hard work has paid off (as illustrated by his massive bank account balance). He has one of the highest net worths as it is estimated to reach $260 million and he is also on the list of the twenty richest singers in the UK. Phil if you need some help with your wealth management, you can text us!
Sean Astin - The Lord Of Campaigns
Sean Astin became widely known after his appearance in the iconic trilogy The Lord of the Rings playing Frodo's best friend, Samwise. Before that huge opportunity knocked on his door he starred at several movies such as The Goonies, White Water Summer, and in TV series like Lynn McGill. Besides being an actor, Astin is considered a true political activist, as he financially supported Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign in 2016. After her failure though, we doubt he'll do it again without making sure that his general insurance will cover at least some of the costs.
Heather Locklear - The Covergirl
The American actress initially appeared in the significant drama series Melrose Place as Amanda Woodward, for which she was nominated for the Best Actress Golden Globe Award. As her dream was to become a famous actress, she dropped out of university to chase her acting career and pay back the student loan. This turned out to be a wise decision as she managed to star in successful TV series like Dynasty and Hot In Cleveland.
Joey Lawrence - Gimme A Break! Idol
Joey Lawrence was one of America's idols back in the '80s. His career literally took off after his leading role in NBC's sitcom Gimme A Break! where he portrayed Joey Donovan- we all remember that, right girls? In 2002 he married Michelle Vella but the couple didn't make it and instead of checking for some online law classes they hired a divorce attorney to file for divorce. Recently he is more focused on his singing career but we were pleased to see him on the drama movie Emma's Chance in 2016.
Mary Stuart Masterson - Manhattan Girl
American actress and director Mary Stuart Masterson was born and raised in Manhattan. Her parents were working in the entertainment industry and Mary decided to follow on their footsteps. Throughout her career, she has held important leading roles in iconic movies like Chances Are, Fried Green Tomatoes and Benny & Joon. We can assume her divorce attorney would be very busy, as she has been married three times and divorced two!
Diane Franklin - The Brightest Smile
The American actress started her career as a model and did commercial campaigns for famous brands. She appeared in hit movies like The Last American Virgin, The Amityville Horror II: The Possession and Better Off Dead. Her business finance grew as fast as her career, but Franklin decided to keep a low profile after her marriage to Ray DeLaurentis in 1992 and instead focused on her family. Luckily she won't need a divorce attorney soon, as the couple is still fully in love!
Tia Carrere - Exotic Beauty
Tia Carrere is a famous actress, singer, model and voice actress from Honolulu, Hawaii. She made her debut in the comedy-drama movie Aloha Summer. The movie was a hit and Carrere moved to L.A. to chase her acting dreams. Her smashing breakthrough came with her role in General Hospital, where she portrayed Jade Soong Chung. In 1992 she married Elie Samaha, but in 1999 Samaha had to ask for a divorce attorney's help as the rumors that Carrere was cheating led to their marriage going up in flames in 2000.
MARK-PAUL GOSSELAAR – SAVED BY THE BELL REUNION, FATHERHOOD…
For teenage girls in the ‘90s, Mark-Paul Gosselaar was the quintessential heartthrob. Rather than slip and fall through the cracks like others, Gosselaar has enjoyed an active career. From making appearances on NYPD Blue and Raising the Bar to most recently on Pitch, the actor is thriving. Most notable of his achievements, however, is becoming a husband and father - which explains his absence from inpatient drug rehab centers and alcohol rehab facilities despite the prevailing trend in Hollywood.
DANICA MCKELLAR – MATHEMATICIAN & VOICE-OVER TALENT
It's hard to imagine Danica McKellar to be anything but Winnie on the ‘80s TV show The Wonder Years. Today, McKellar remains a force to be reckoned with. Between becoming a renowned math author and landing notable voice-over roles, the actress has successfully maintained her relevance in entertainment circles. Plus, being the founder of Mckellermath.com certainly puts her ahead in the subject of banking and wealth management. Bankruptcy? Probably never.
MARIO LOPEZ – TV HOST/WORKOUT ENTHUSIAST
Saved by the Bell sure had a great line-up of male characters and Mario Lopez’s A.C Slater is one of them. Today, 44-year-old Mario Lopez is still taking on Hollywood with a microphone in one hand and a dumbbell in the other. Lopez has become one of the leading hosts with an impressive resumé that lists America’s Best Dance Crew, The X-factor, Miss America, and Masters of Maze. He's also been showing off his biceps - which explains how he's managed to stay out of rehab centers for drugs.
CANDACE CAMERON – AUTHOR/FITNESS FANATIC
She gained international fame for her role as DJ Tanner in the ‘80s sitcom Full House. Now Cameron-Bure, the actress took a hiatus shortly after her marriage and children so as not to mortgage her time with family, but she has since eased her way back to Christian entertainment circle. Her latest book, Kind is the New Classy, is only one of her many exploits as her reputation as a New York Times best-selling-author precedes her. Bure also broadens her scope by offering fitness tips on social media.
TIFFANI AMBER THIESSEN – MOM/ SITCOM CAST
Saved by the Bell’s Kelly Kapowski is all grown up but still a stunner. Tiffani Amber Thiessen, who portrayed a teenage Kapowski in the ‘90s show, seems determined not to mortgage her good looks on account of her age and despite pushing 45, the mom of two is still as ravishing as she was when she hit our TV screens in the late ‘80s. But banking on her looks alone isn't the reason why she's still relevant. In fact, she's managed to stay in the entertainment loop since her ‘80s debut, appearing recently in Alexa & Katie.
IONE SKYE – DIVORCEE & CHILDREN’S BOOK AUTHOR
After making her debut in the 1986 thriller River’s Edge and subsequently appearing in the ‘80s hit Say Anything, Ione Skye’s fate as a Hollywood A-lister was sealed. The actress, who is also an author and painter has enjoyed a relatively eventful career despite her battle with alcohol and drug use which almost led her to drug and alcohol rehab at one point. Despite her personal struggles, the actress has landed more than a few lead roles, written a children’s book, and remarried following her divorce from Adam Horovitz.
JODIE SWEETIN – DEFEATED ADDICTION/ REPRISED FULL HOUSE ROLE
Full House’s Jodie Sweetin is as known for her portrayal of Stephanie Tanner, as she is for frequenting luxury drug rehab and inpatient drug rehab centers. The star reportedly began to spiral following the conclusion of the ‘90s sitcom, but finally regained her footing after nearly 15 years of addiction. Today, Sweetin is clean, reprising her role as Stephanie Tanner on the Full House spin-off, Fuller House and hasn’t seen the inside of an inpatient drug rehab in a while. Now, that is how you clean up nice.
ROBERT ROMANUS – BUSINESS PROPRIETOR
Robert Romanus may not have been caught on screen since his 2014 appearance in the sitcom Cougar Town, but the Fast Times at Ridgemont High’s actor is certainly not one to be forgotten in a hurry. Romanus’ absence from the entertainment scene urged him to try and take advantage of his business finance abilities and enter the world of proprietorship instead. The actor’s café dubbed Bob’s Espresso Bar sounded like a good idea, but sadly closed down in 2014.
Jason Priestley – Part Of The Cast Of Private Eyes
The moment he entered the entertainment world, Jason Priestley became a Hollywood heartthrob perhaps because of his astonishing looks and blue eyes. As the years passed by, it seems that this talented man hasn't aged a day, looking better than ever in his late 40s. Priestley is best known for his roles in Beverly Hills, 90210, Call Me Fitz and currently, he is starring in Private Eyes. The actor married Naomi Lowde-Priestley in a beautiful wedding ceremony in 2005. His new, short movie, Chip on my Shoulder is in post-production.
LINDA HAMILTON – DIVORCED TWICE & REPRISING TERMINATOR ROLE
Following her $50-million divorce settlement from James Cameron, The Terminator actress, Linda Hamilton, may have chosen to retire from the acting scene and spend her final days financing a business or learning the intricacies of wealth management. Cameron chose otherwise, and the mother-of-two has managed to stay afloat in the industry despite her battle with bipolar disorder. The Golden Globe and Emmy award-winner is expected to reprise her role as Sarah Connor in The Terminator sequel in 2019.
VAL KILMER – DEFEATED CANCER
Val Kilmer may have been mostly known as an ‘80s tough guy, but his roles in Real Genius, Willow, Top Secret, and Top Gun proved to be a walk in the park compared to his recent 2-year battle with cancer. Despite his personal struggle and brief interest in politics, Kilmer is determined to stay at the top of his game in the acting business. While he hopes his choices don’t mortgage his chances at good health, Kilmer’s decision to reprise his role in the 2019 Top Gun sequel is something to look forward to.
HELEN MIRREN – JOINED THE ‘#ME TOO’ CAMPAIGN
Whether she is portraying Queen Elizabeth II on the big screen or strutting on the red carpet, Helen Mirren has proved to be a relentless head-turner, despite making her debut more than five decades ago. When the Inkheart actress lent her voice to the ‘me too/time’s up’ movement that aimed to curb inappropriate advances toward women, we can’t say we were surprised. Mirren admitted that while battling a mild drug addiction in her 20s, her refusal to submit to an inpatient drug rehab led her to a few awful experiences.
TOM HANKS – ENVIRONMENTALIST
Tom Hanks has come a long way since his days of low-budget films and small roles. 39 years after landing his debut film role, the actor has made over 100 TV/film appearances, gotten divorced, remarried, battled with a son who is a repeat luxury drug rehab visitor and is still thriving. Following his astounding success, the actor has become quite vocal about a number of political issues and is also known for his keen interest in the environment.
JENNIFER CONNELLY – STAR OF SNOWPIERCER
From a child actress and model, Jennifer Connelly has morphed into a living Hollywood legend. After her 1984 debut in the movie Once Upon a Time in America and her subsequent breakout role in Phenomena, Connelly was set on the fast track to fame and fortune, and she sure didn’t disappoint. Rather than shuttle in and out of inpatient drug rehab centers and alcohol rehab facilities like most child actors in transition, she has stayed on the straight and narrow. Watch her on the 2018 TV series, Snowpiercer.
JASON BATEMAN – PRODUCER/VOICE ACTOR
Jason Bateman’s first shot at fame came in a cereal commercial and less than 10 years after it, he became one of Hollywood’s youngest directors, following his role in the production of The Hogan Family. Decades later, Bateman is still making giant strides in the industry and his natural talent allows him the luxury of dabbling into screen and voice acting as well as producing and directing. A little knowledge of business finance and the actor might as well start his own production outfit - something to look forward to.
BLAIR UNDERWOOD – MULTIPLE AWARD WINNER
Since landing his breakout role in The Cosby Show, Blair Underwood has defiantly refused to slip and fall through the cracks despite the odds that were stacked against his career. More than 30 years after his debut, Underwood has consistently reaped nominations and awards on the account of his stellar on-screen performances. Though things seem to be slowing down in his film appearances, the actor clearly has his plate full - with TV shows like Quantico, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, and The Lion Guard.
CYBILL SHEPHERD – RETURNED TO HER FAITH
Cybill Shepherd has had it all – from a lucrative career to high and low profile relationships, and even kids from multiple partners. But she admits that one of the highlights of her life is returning to her Christian faith after turning away for so long. Shepherd, who starred in hits such as Heartbreak Kid, She’s Funny That Way, and Taxi Driver was at the center of a mildly controversial rumor that painted her as ‘having an attitude problem,’ but things seem to take a turn after she was cast in the 2014 film, Do You Believe?
LORI SINGER – DIVORCED & THRIVING
After snagging a lead role in the ‘80s classic, Footloose, Lori Singer’s career has been on the upswing. The actress and cellist has made over 50 appearances since her debut and is probably a wealth management class away from choosing to retire. And between her divorce settlement and career earnings, the actress must have certainly made enough to hang up her boots.
AMANDA WYSS – MAKING A COMEBACK
After delivering a memorable performance in the ‘80s classic Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Amanda Wyss etched her name in Hollywood’s history books. The actress' career has been somewhat topsy-turvy, however, and just when we thought she might be slipping into obscurity, things seem to be picking up for the Powwow Highway star. With imminent 2018 and 2019 film releases, Wyss might rake in enough earnings to actually consider retirement.
MINDY COHN – BATTLED BREAST CANCER
For an actress who has enjoyed a remarkable career since her days in The Facts of Life and Different Strokes, Mindy Cohn should be straining under societal pressure to get married and have children. But the actress-comedian sure has other ideas. While she has never been married, Cohn is a vocal gay rights activist and proud of it. Nonetheless, since revealing her secret battle with cancer, fans cannot help but wonder if she has other struggles as well – discrete trips to alcohol rehab facilities perhaps?
NINA HARTLEY – ADULT-ENTERTAINMENT ICON
Nina Hartley is no ordinary adult entertainer. The actress began her career as an exotic dancer in the ‘80s with the mind to become like Sharon McNight, a veteran in her chosen field. With more than 900 adult films to her credit, Hartley claims to have exploited the unusual method to teach women how to wield their assets. Quite an interesting philosophy, you must agree.
KAREN ALLEN – YOGA INSTRUCTOR
Business finance can be tricky, so when entertainment stars like Karen Allen choose to delve into the murky waters of financing a business, it certainly causes enough stir to make people sit up and take notice. Having enjoyed a lucrative career, the Manhattan actress took a semi-hiatus after the birth of her son, in which time she established her company dubbed Karen Allen Fiber Arts. More than a decade later, Allen still manages to juggle being a mom, running her company and teaching acting and yoga.
CHARLIE SHEEN – BATTLING HIV
Charlie Sheen was by all standards, a train-wreck waiting to happen. The actor rose to fame in the ‘80s with appearances in The Three Musketeers, Major League, and Platoon. Unfortunately, Sheen soon became as popular in drug and alcohol rehab as he was on the silver screen. Naturally, he got kicked off his top earning show Two and a Half Men and soon stepped forward with the admission that he was battling HIV - just tragic.
JANET JACKSON – BLACKLISTED BUT VINDICATED
Between her personal life and career, Janet Jackson has had it rough. No doubt her career blossomed in the ‘80s and through the ‘90s but after a controversial move, while performing at the 2004 Superbowl, the singer couldn't just continue banking on her career and reputation alone. More than a decade later, and after losing her brother, having a child, and divorcing her husband, Janet has finally wiggled out of undue blame after Justin Timberlake's invitation to the halftime show sparked an outrage on social media.
Amanda Peterson - Fairytale Gone Bad
Amanda Peterson's career took a boost after her role in the comedy film Can't Buy Me Love in 1987. She later participated as Sunny Sisk in the outstanding miniseries A Year in the Life.

In 2005 she was found dead at her apartment in Colorado.

Barbi Benton - Playboy Talent
Barbi Benton is famous for her revealing covers in the Playboy magazine not once, not twice, but four times! She started as a model but soon she pursued an acting career, which came to fruition with her role in the comedy series Hee Haw. She also released eight albums and some of her songs became instant country hits. Benton is married to George Gradow and the couple shares their time between their homes in Aspen and Los Angeles - we bet they don't mind paying home insurance for two!
John Stamos - Full House
John Stamos strengthened his onscreen presence with his unforgettable performance on the popular comedy sitcom Full House. However, he had already begun making history after being featured on the TV show General Hospital where he portrayed Blackie Parrish. Unsurprisingly, the actor has amassed an impressive net worth, and with proper wealth management, he’ll probably never need a ‘big part’ to bail him out of bankruptcy. That is, assuming he stays out of trouble.
Glenn Close - Political Sponsor
After an impressive 1974 performance in Love for Love brought her to the limelight, it was clear that Glenn Close would achieve superstar status. A few decades later, the actress has become is a living legacy with several awards, a seat in the American Theater Hall of Fame, and a bountiful bank account from which she enjoys the dividends of her labor. The actress has also dabbled in politics, contributing her money to the election campaigns of some politicians. But ultimately, Close has proved herself to be an icon of inestimable value.
Barbara Eden - Jeannie Out of the Bottle
Not only did Barbara Eden star in the film The Secret Life of Kathy McCormick, but she also served as a co-producer. She was given the greatest credit in 1988 when she was inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She doesn't do much TV work these days but all the events that happened in her career of over five decades were written in her own memoir entitled, Jeannie Out of the Bottle. We assume that she's now enjoying her much-deserved retirement.
Loretta Swit - Jewelry Designer, Animal Rights Activist
Loretta Swit played the role of nurse Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan on the TV series M.A.S.H. alongside many sonorous names of the era. After the show was canceled, she tried to pursue other acting roles, with no success. She did not give up on her business dreams, though. Today she has her own jewelry line, and she spends her time fundraising for animal rights charities.
Jeanne Tripplehorn - Still Acting
Jeanne Tripplehorn made her big screen debut on "Basic Instinct", and has since then starred in some big movies including "Waterworld". She was definitely one of the most wanted actresses back then and it seems that her time for retirement has not come yet. Today she is still acting like always and is starring on the TV series 'Criminal Minds.'
Fred Savage - Child Actor
Best known for his performance as a child actor, Fred Savage received his most significant accolades on The Wonder Years where he portrayed Kevin Arnold. But the big screen hasn’t stopped him from settling into family life. With his growing clan (for which we believe he may need an estate planning lawyer down the road) and his successful career as an actor, director, and producer with commensurate earnings, it appears Savage is going to leave quite the legacy for future generations to enjoy.
Winona Ryder - Shoplifting Charges
While filming the iconic movie Beetlejuice, it was hard to say what Winona Ryder’s expectations of the movie were. However, we are confident that the success of the movie surpassed her imagination. After gaining prominence, Ryder seemed to dabble in an out of trouble consistently. She had to post bail after her arrest on shoplifting charges, when she was caught stealing from a Fifth Avenue department store, and despite her criminal defense attorney's best efforts, she felt the heavy hand of the law.
Rachel Ward - Former Model
Rachel Ward gained global prominence through the world-renowned TV show The Thornbirds where she portrayed a young woman who needed a domestic violence attorney after her husband found out about her affair with the family priest. These days, things seem to have slowed down for the actress but provided we don’t hear any controversial wealth management news or bankruptcy claims, it is safe to say she has some financial planning in place for the dry patch.
Steve Guttenberg - Children’s Ambassador
Like many other actors, Steve Guttenberg has roots in theater. However, he is best known for his roles in Short Circuit, Three Men and a Baby, and of course, Police Academy. Guttenberg has come a long way since his days as a high school graduate, pursuing a career in LA. He has millions in his bank account and a net worth of $15 million. He is involved with various charity organizations, and he provides support to the homeless. The Entertainment Industry Foundation chose him to be their Ambassador for Children’s Issues.
Johnny Depp - Legal Problems
His most famous character may be a criminal, but we hoped that it would not be the same for him in real life. Before he was Willy Wonka, Johnny Depp had shown his acting talent in numerous acting projects, including in the series 21 Jump Street which turned him into a teen idol. Unfortunately, his recent divorce from his wife, Amber Heard, with whom he had engaged in an ugly money dispute, was further stained with domestic violence allegations. So to say he keeps his criminal lawyer on a short leash would be putting it mildly.
Denzel Washington - National Spokesperson
Best known for his portrayal of a corrupt cop in the thriller Training Day, Denzel Washington is an actor, director, and producer of world-class status. He has certainly stayed out of trouble in real life, and the only criminal defense attorney he ever needed was on movie sets. The Boys & Girls Clubs of America have named him their spokesperson since 1993.
Bo Derek - Veterans' Rights
Her appearance in the '80s movies Tarzan, the Ape Man, Ghosts Can't Do It, and Bolero had given her a name, but money and fame didn’t affect Bo Derek’s heart for charity. Today, as she spends time away from the spotlight, enjoying the earnings and the dividends of her societal status, the actress works with military lawyers - she is a wounded veterans' rights advocate through the Veterans Affair’s Rehabilitation facility.
Emilio Estevez - Coach Gordon
Emilio Estevez became well-known during the '80s as a part of the "Brat Pack" who starred in hit films like St. Elmo’s Fire and The Breakfast Club. He also starred as hockey coach Gordon Bombay in the Mighty Ducks movies, but his personal life is hardly a reflection of his career success. After an ugly divorce and needing a child support attorney to help him keep in touch with his children, it must have been hard for the actor. However, he seems to be in a much better situation than that of his infamous brother, Charlie Sheen.
Corey Feldman - Actor & Musician
When Corey Feldman began his career at only 3 years old, it was hard to tell that he would morph into a successful actor and musician. At 15, he sought emancipation from his parents (perhaps over earnings dispute) and he got the help of a lawyer. But while things in the homefront deteriorated, his career blossomed, and Feldman, now 46, is still enjoying the dividends of his popularity.
Matt Dillon - Bad Boy
Undoubtedly, Matt Dillion is one of the most promising young actors of the early '80s. Known for his bad boy roles in movies, including Rumble Fish, My Bodyguard, and Little Darlings, Dillon’s portfolio is nothing if not impressive. With so many films to his credit, it is safe to assume that his earnings are commensurate with his efforts because they indeed are.
Mel Gibson - Alcohol Abuse
Mel Gibson may have exiled from Hollywood for over a decade, but he has proved he is an unforgettable character. After making box office hits in the ‘80s, the actor became too much to handle. From his drunk-driving charges to alcohol-fueled erratic behavior, we didn't know what to expect. However, for a man with a net worth equivalent to a country’s yearly budget, we are sure that he won't run into any bankruptcy trouble even if he is gone for three more decades.
Phoebe Cates - Boutique Owner
Phoebe Cates’ acting career began during the ‘80s when she landed a role in one of the best Hollywood blockbusters - Fast Times at Ridgemont High. The actress also appeared in Gremlins but eventually, she put her acting career aside as she became a homemaker and a boutique owner. Financing a business must be enjoyable for her, and we're confident that her venture helps her a lot in paying her bills. She's also living in affluence as she's married to successful actor, Kevin Kline. Who knows, maybe one day she will make a comeback!
Kiefer Sutherland - Legal Issues
After an impressive portrayal of the bully Ace in the iconic '80s movie, Stand By Me, Kiefer Sutherland began a steady ascension into stardom. But considering his parents had paved the way for him, it was to be expected. Like many of his colleagues, Sutherland had been arrested on drunk driving charges and required bail and a DUI lawyer. Other than that, the actor has managed to stay clear of alcohol rehab facilities and even money troubles - that much we are grateful for.
Harrison Ford - Frequent Injuries
Harrison Ford's rose to stardom began when he appeared in the Star Wars original franchise, portraying the hero-smuggler Han Solo. But after an incident saw him sustaining some injuries, the actor claimed a lot from his health insurance when he injured a disk in 1983. While his PI attorney seemed to have worked overtime then, it doesn’t appear that he gets into any other kind of trouble.
Sylvester Stallone - Rocky Road
Sylvester Stallone is best known for portraying boxer Rocky Balboa in the Rocky series from 1976 to 2015. The American actor, screenwriter, and filmmaker cemented his status as an ultimate superstar with his willpower and sheer determination to succeed. Plus, he seemed unwilling to have a personal injury lawyer since he was bent on doing most of his stunts himself while filming his internationally renowned movies. That was quite daring, especially for a man with no money at the time.
Eddie Murphy - Buchwald Lawsuit
Considered one of the greatest stand-up comedy artists to have ever lived, Eddie Murphy is most popularly known for his role in Beverly Hills Cop, the animated movie series Shrek and Mulan. But while he has managed a relatively successful career with more than enough money to meet his needs, he was once sued by Art Buchwald, who claimed that he used their ideas for a script. Eddie immediately whipped out a criminal defense lawyer, but Art Buchwald was offered a settlement in a summary judgment.
Bruce Willis - Happily Married
Bruce’s acting career started on the off-Broadway stage. The actor is, perhaps, best known for portraying David Addison in the romantic-action TV series, Moonlighting. He also starred in the Die Hard film series, Pulp Fiction, Color of Night, and many other movies. Willis recently celebrated eight years of marriage with his wife, Emma Heming. Since he is the father of five children, he must have started to seek advice from a will lawyer to help him with his wealth management to prepare for their future. And let's not forget his life insurance, too.
Jenilee Harrison - Happily Married
Her role on the hit TV show Three’s Company where she was the replacement blonde roommate named Cindy Snow may have been short-lived, but it was indeed memorable. Jenilee Harrison may not enjoy the money and fame of popular successful celebrities, but she has a few things that they wish they had. One is her marriage with Dr. Bruce Oppenheim for which she isn't likely to be needing a divorce attorney at any point.
Demi Moore - Three Divorces
A familiar face of the movie industry, Demi Moore gained repute for her performance in '80s shows and movies. But it appeared that Moore went through men as quickly as her movies. With three divorces under her belt, she must be sure to keep a divorce attorney handy. However, considering her experience in the field, it doesn’t look like she needs divorce advice.
Patrick Dempsey - Highschool Dropout
After dropping out of high school to pursue a career in acting, Patrick Demsey quickly became a rising star with shows like Grey's Anatomy to his credit. It's a pity he couldn’t have it all because even with all the money in his bank account, he couldn’t save his mother who was diagnosed with and died of ovarian cancer at 79. Demsey has since donated a lot of money for research about cancer and been focused on cancer-related charities.
Tom Cruise - Scientology Poster-boy
After making significant changes in his life, Tom Cruise is rumored to be dating wife-candidate number four. It is unclear if this will also end in tragic money disputes or divorce tales, but we are glad the actor is enjoying some success. His career started in the '80s, and he appeared in many movies, including iconic ones like Cocktail and Risky Business. On the religious front, Cruise has been a staunch advocate of the Church of Scientology since the '90s; especially after claiming that it had helped him cure his dyslexia.
Drew Barrymore - Substance Abuse
Drew Barrymore may have captured our heart in the iconic movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial; but when the cameras were turned off, she was playing a different ballgame altogether. Despite her earnings and a bank account that allowed her the liberty to choose a different pastime, Drew had been known to preoccupy herself with substance abuse. A lot has been written about her inpatient drug rehab, but in the end, she was able to come out of her condition successfully.
Shelley Long – Earned Her Drama Degree
Shelley Long was able to capture our hearts almost instantly when she appeared as Diane Chambers in the popular American sitcom Cheers. At that point, her career began to rise and she went from an unknown name to a Hollywood A-lister. The actress also appeared in in several movies including The Money Pit, The Brady Bunch Movie, Troop Beverly Hills, Hello Again and Night Shift. Thanks to her college degree in drama at Northwestern University, she has been praised for her acting skills ever since.
Matthew Broderick - Tragic Crash
After his hit role in the popular comedy Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Matthew Broderick gained international recognition. Currently, he's happily married to actress Sarah Jessica Parker with whom he has three children, and is hardly associated with controversy. Besides once needing a personal injury attorney because of a car crash while driving a rented car in 1987, he seems to have stayed out of the news. With a twenty-year-old union and no need for a divorce attorney, it is amazing to see the things one can accomplish.
George Michael - Passed Away
George Michael was an English singer/songwriter and record producer who gained enormous fame and international recognition as a part of the popular music duo Wham!. Even with the duo's great success, Michael decided to pursue a solo career. In his 30-year-long career, the singer sold more than 115 million records worldwide. Sadly, George Michael died in December 2016, at the age of 53, leaving behind a net worth of $200 million.
Philip Michael Thomas – Devoted To A Healthy Lifestyle
Philip Michael Thomas is another Hollywood name who rose to prominence after appearing on the popular TV show Miami Vice, alongside Don Johnson. On the show, he portrayed detective Ricardo Tubbs. However, his first notable role was in the movie Coonskin. He also appeared alongside Irene Cara in the movie Sparkle, released back in 1976. Thanks to his amazing big screen success, the actor was able to forget about high mortgage rates a long time ago. These days, he is more devoted to following his special vegetarian diet plan.
Melissa Sue Anderson - Working Mom
You might remember Melissa from Little House on the Prairie, where she played Mary Ingalls. For her performance, Melissa was nominated for an Emmy, and later won one for her role in the series Which Mother is Mine?. She moved to Canada with her husband, and she has two kids. Her net worth is estimated at $1.5 Million, so she's not doing that bad!
Soleil Moon Frye - Working Mom
Soleil Moon Frye was a popular child actress, best known for her TV show Punky Brewster. Frye was only 7 years old when she started shooting the sitcom. She is also an excellent example of wealth management, as she is today a very successful entrepreneur who runs a children’s online boutique. Probably her fame and a big bank account helped her in financing a business.
Erika Eleniak - Still Acting
This 47-year-old American-Canadian actress started her acting career at a very young age - she debuted in the movie E.T the Extra-Terrestrial alongside the extra popular Drew Barrymore. Since then she began modeling, and got her big break after appearing as Shauni McClain in Baywatch. After that role she appeared in a few shows and movies, keeping a low profile.
Jeff Cohen - Successful Lawyer
Jeff Cohen is an American child actor most recognized for portraying the character of Chunk in the Hollywood '80s blockbuster The Goonies. After several appearances on TV, Cohen left his acting career behind and pursued his studies. But he went beyond getting a simple college degree from the University of California; Cohen got a law degree (not online law classes, but the traditional way) and soon became an accomplished lawyer. His net worth of $4 million tells us that he's doing a fine job as a lawyer.
Mia Sara - Licensed Pilot
Mia Sara started her acting career with the movie Legend where she showed remarkable talents, acting alongside Tom Cruise. Soon after, Sara was landing great roles in films, but Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is the film that made her an established movie star. However, Mia Sara retired from acting in 2013 to enjoy her family life. She also wanted more time for her love of flying and became a licensed pilot. She is married to Brian Henson. With her net worth of $1.5 million and her husband's $10 million, Mia can afford to live a mortgage and loan-free life.
Kathleen Turner – Great Struggles With Alcohol Addiction
The American movie and stage actress Kathleen Turner went from an unknown name to a Hollywood A-lister in almost no time after she appeared in the iconic movie Body Heat released in 1981. You also may remember her for her roles in the movies Crimes of Passion, Romancing the Stone, The Man With Two Brains, Prizzi's Honor and many other. Unfortunately, at the beginning of her career, she struggled greatly with a serious alcohol addiction. Later she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis which put additional strain on her health.
Kelly McGillis - Helping Addicts
Kelly McGillis rose to fame after she showed remarkable acting skills, appearing in 1986’s Top Gun where she starred alongside Tom Cruise. McGillis continued acting, doing hit movies like The Accused and Witness. The actress is also known for helping addicts in rehab centers for drugs in New Jersey. She also teaches acting at The New Work Studio for Stage. McGillis filed for a divorce from her 2nd husband in 2002, and a few years later, she publicly admitted she was gay. With a net worth of $7.5 million, she just keeps on doing what she loves.
Elisabeth Shue - From Harvard To Big Screen
The famous star made her acting debut in Karate Kid in 1984 and since then she featured in iconic movies like Adventures in Babysitting, Cocktail and Back to the Future I & II. What you may not know about her is that in 1985, she dropped out of Harvard to pursue her acting career. But in 1997 Shue decided to go back and with her bank account full and her student loans paid back, she managed to get her B.A. in political science in 2000.
Melissa Gilbert - A Star From The Start
We are sure that all of you remember the iconic NBC series Little House on the Prairie! Melissa Gilbert starred as Laura Ingalls Wilder for a decade while featuring in many television films like The Diary of Anne Frank and The Miracle Worker. But her personal life seemed to be a mess and as she revealed in her autobiography in 2009, she took the wrong path and she had to resort to drug and alcohol rehab to overcome her addictions.
Pam Dawber - Happily Married
Pamela Dawber got a lot of good credit from the '70s through the '80s because of her superb portrayal of Mindy McConnell in the show Mork & Mindy and her role as Samantha Russell in My Sister Sam. Dawber doesn't act anymore these days and is living a quiet life with actor-husband Mark Harmon. And though they may not be living in the same level of affluence as other famous Hollywood couples, they are quite comfortable with their modest net worth.
Charlotte Rae - Parkinson's Disease & Bone Cancer
Edna Garrett started her earning money from acting through the role she had in Diff’rent Strokes, but she received a bigger break when she was able to star in the show's spin-off entitled The Facts of Life. She overcame pancreatic cancer in 2009, but sadly, was diagnosed with bone cancer in 2017. Despite that, she's still alive and kicking at 91 years old.
Michael J. Fox - Parkinson's Survivor
Michael J. Fox received enormous popularity for portraying the character of Marty McFly in the '80s film Back to the Future and its sequels. Although the famous actor was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in his thirties, he didn’t give up on his acting career and he still appears with minor roles in shows. Fox is probably covered by an excellent life insurance as well as health insurance - things that he needs now, more than ever, as he continues to battle his illness.
Daryl Hannah - Arrested Activist
American actress Daryl Hannah began her acting career in the ‘80s. Her first on-screen debut was a part in the film The Fury. She was also acting alongside Tom Hanks in 1984’s, Splash. When Hannah was a child, doctors diagnosed her with autism and recommended that she be institutionalized. Despite that, she still appears in movies and shows, and with her net worth, we bet she solved her home loan or mortgage issues long ago. Hannah has been arrested before for her activism, but likely, her attorney did a good job getting her out of the mess.
Helena Bonham Carter - Fertility Issues
Helena Bonham’s climb to success began with playing the title character in Lady Jane. Soon after, she became a force to be reckoned with in the industry and takes credit for quite a few iconic roles, including a part in Hamlet where she portrayed Ophelia. Unfortunately, the actress and her partner had trouble having a baby of their own and underwent fertility therapy at one point. Today, they are parents to two beautiful children.
Jennifer Beals - Flash Dancer
American actress and former teen model, Jennifer Beals became popular for her role in the 1983 hit movie, Flashdance. Although her acting career was just at the beginning, Beals decided to take a break from acting to get a college degree from Yale University. Beals leads a quiet and happy life with her net worth of $6 million. She was never associated with any kind of addiction, nor did she need to spend money on alcohol and drug rehab. The actress was also a guest star on the TV series Law and Order.
Jennifer Grey - Dirty Dancing
Jennifer Grey rose to fame and started earning big money when she starred alongside Patrick Swayze in the 1987’s Dirty Dancing. Days of student loans and mortgage were behind her as she started landing roles in movies such as Red Dawn and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Grey had plastic surgery and her appearance drastically changed, as many people couldn’t recognize her after the procedure. She still appears on TV and continues to build up her current net worth of $10 million. Recently, she participated in Dancing With the Stars.
Richard Dean Anderson - Leading A Quiet Life
Richard Dean Anderson became a common name in the '70s, thanks to the role he had in General Hospital. He found even greater success when he starred in the show MacGyver, a part which left a significant mark on his acting portfolio. He has been away from the spotlight for almost a decade now because, according to him, he wants to focus on raising his daughter.
Brooke Shields – Happily Married
Another big name in the Hollywood industry is the stunning actress Brooke Shields who started her acting career as a child when she appeared in the movie Pretty Baby back in 1978. The actress later rose to prominence thanks to her appearances in the movies Endless Love and The Blue Lagoon. Besides being greatly successful in her career, she is also very successful when it comes to her love life. The actress has been married to Chris Henchy since 2001 and judging by the couple's happiness, she is far from needing a child support attorney anytime soon.
Nicole Kidman – Serious Marital Issues
We were sad to hear that stunning American actress Nicole Kidman and her husband Keith Urban have serious marital issues which might lead to calling a divorce attorney as couple's therapy did nothing good for them. Unfortunately, her love life is not as successful as her big screen career. The actress has been present on the big screen since 1983 when she appeared in the movie Bush Christmas. She also appeared in Days of Thunder, Dead Calm, Far and Away, To Die For and Eyes Wide Shut. She is still very much active, both on TV and cinema.
Tonya Harding - Skating & Landscaping
Ice skating legend Tonya Harding hasn't had the easiest of careers. After breaking through and becoming a respected athlete, as well as one of the only females able to complete a triple axel, her career fell apart. She developed an intense rivalry with Nancy Kerrigan and was involved in a huge controversy when Nancy was attacked, leaving space for Tonya to take her place. She avoided jail time thanks to a great criminal defense lawyer, but the public turned on her. With a ban from the sport, she turned to landscaping. In 2017, a biopic, I, Tonya, starring Margot Robbie, came out. That'll help with her mortgage repayments!
